I'm not quite sure if this was an error, but a local newspaper did a review on the Porsche Cayman, and it listed that it is built in Finland. Is there any truth to this? I have nothing against Finland, it's just that I've always thought Porsche built *all* of their automobiles in Germany.

You thought wrong. The Boxster is built in Stuttgart and Finland(The company is Valmet or something). Since the Cayman is built offthe same platform, makes since the same company helps out. epbrown--"Everybody wants a normal life and a cool car; most people will settle for the car."

Ferdinand Porsche was born in Poland, your BMW's Nissans, Assans, Hondas parts are made overseas at their homeland, then put together in the US by American workers. It is a small world... American flags made in China, and so on..

Wrong. Dual Nationality, one citizenship.

Danke Herr Helmut, I stand corrected.

Just to get it right: Ferdinand Porsche (designer of the original Volkswagen (Beetle)) was born 1875 in Bohemia, then part of Austria. Nowadays it is in the Czech Republic.

His son, Ferry Porsche was born in Vienna in 1909.

I think that this should get corrected in the newsgroup which contains the names of the two great automotive persons.

He will always be English, but whether the government recognises him as british is a different ballgame.

Remember, there are 3 seperate kingdoms and a principality in the United ingdom or Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

And anyone born in any of them will tell you that each is god's own country.
